    Ali came nowhere close to being the dominant heavy of the 70's. The truth is that there was great parity between about 7 or 8 guys at the time.

    Marvin Hagler was more reliable than Hearns, Leonard, or Duran.

    Toney and BHop would school any form of Marciano.

    Well, if he's badly cut, glassy eyed, and unable to indicate his willingness to fight in any way, be it verbal or non-verbal, he probably shouldn't be fighting. And Steele isn't even in the top 5 of irritating refs.

    Ken Norton was 3 - 0 vs Ali ( the 3rd one was very one sided).

    Mayweather loses to - Trinidad , Quartey , 00 Mosley , Curry , Norris , Forrest , Winky . At least two of them stop him.

    Tszyu is massively over rated and beat fighters who were either on the slide or had been beaten better before.

    Fighters today don't know how to use the jab.

    Mike Tyson at the age of 20 was the greatest fighter the world has ever seen.

    Some interesting points. I still think foreman beats frazier if they'd fought again but I wouldn't be as confident as before if I read your post before a rematch

    I know they fought twice. I meant if they fought again after I read the post

    I doubt that you knew that. It was not what you meant in your post

    OK. I chose my word incorrectly . Rematch, by the correct definition, does mean a 2nd fight, game, match etc.
    I meant if they had fought after I'd read the post, I wouldn't have been quite so confident. I was just saying it was a good post with some well put points. I should have said if they fought again instead of rematch.

    Razor Ruddock was nothing more than hypejob that caught a fading Mike Tyson. He would have never beating Holyfield,Bowe or an 88 Tyson. Lennox Lewis didn't really avenge the McCall defeat. (McCall wasn't in any good shape)
    Floyd Mayweather was at his best at 135 and 130.
